Figure 4

Similarity between some of the miRNAs identified in this study and recently described miRNAs that cycle in mammals. Shown are the alignments between miRNAs identified in this study and possible mammalian orthologs that were recently described by Xu et al. (2007) as cycling in the mouse retina. The entire sequences of the mature forms of Drosophila miRNA are shown in different colors, whereas mouse sequences are shown in black. The identity of the miRNA is shown at left; number in brackets signifies the nucleotide position of the mature mouse miRNA starting from left (5') to right (3'). Sequences used were those in the Sanger miRBase as of December 2007.
